Happy birthday to us! And as a birthday celebration, we've decided to announce that we're launching our very own clothing line! 🥳

We have been working on this for the past 2 years, with research in materials, patterns, the market and how to make our garments as sustainable as possible. It has been such a labour of love, and we can't wait for you all to see it!

It will be 100% made in our studio in Ipswich with 100% natural and environmentally sustainable materials sourced from other Australian small businesses. Our garments will be made with a focus on longevity and end of life so not only will you get the most out of your garments, but they will fully biodegrade at the end of their life.

We've finalised the designs and the fabrics we're using and expect to have them ready to order by summer time. Our clothing line will be made to order only, with plans to attend markets in the future.

We'll be sharing with you the final developments as we get everything ready. We hope you'll love and support our clothing line so we can continue to make a positive impact on the fashion industry.

If you're a 2027 bride and your wedding is in January, February or March, now is the time to start thinking about alterations.

Even if you haven't got your dress yet, a lot of bridal alterations specialists can only take on a certain amount of brides per month which means they can book out quickly. So if you have a specialist in mind, now is the time to book them in.

It's also best to book in your alterations at least 3 months before your wedding date so we can ensure to have your dream dress ready to walk down the aisle.

We love working with brides, so be sure to send us a message about booking us in for your bridal alterations.

This was the most delicate dress we've worked on.

With the intricate beading and fine lace, we had to take our time and do a lot of hand sewing with this dress as we didn't want to risk putting this dress through our machines.

The end result was so worth it, and our bride couldn't be happier. The best part of this job is seeing our brides gl9w at their final fitting.

This bride had a beautiful solution to solve the problem of her sleeves slipping down her shoulders.

The dress needed a couple other alterations, but this one really transformed it into our bride's dream dress. We created a keyhole back with some illusion lace and worked with the bride to design the back detail with a stunning lace she picked up.

How gorgeous did this back detail turn out?! And how stunning is our bride?! 😍

Turning a full length gown into a tea length gown.

Not all brides want that long train. This bride was one of them and asked if we could shorten her dress. So pinned it to the length she wanted, marked, hemmed, cut, sewed on crinoline, pressed, matched the tulle layers, then finished the lining layer.

Of course this was a more time consuming than that sounds. and spanned over a couple days, but in the end it looked fabulous and our bride was so happy.

What a transformation!

Not only was the lining fabric on this dress just simply the wrong colour, but the cups were completely unsupportive and ill-fitting.

We sourced a more suitable fabric to fit with the fiery red of the 3D lace and used it to completely replace the lining and binding fabric. We also remade the cups using underwires, bra foam and offcuts from the hem. As a final touch, we also added in some boning to the bodice to help support the shape of the gown.

The result was a stunning gown that perfectly fit our gorgeous client.

I asked my husband what he thinks about my job as a seamstress - Part 2: What he really thinks ❤️

Truth is, my husband is actually really proud of what I do. He's honestly my biggest support and always cheering me on and doing what he can to make my dream come true. I couldn't ask for a better partner. 🥰
